Children's Books by Connie Arnold

Splash goes the rain,
Drip, drip, drip,
Bouncing off my nose
Onto my lip,
Running down my chin
And onto my shirt,
Then it hits the ground,
Making mud out of dirt.

Splash goes the water
In the bathtub,
Washing off the mud
Using soap to scrub,
Cleaning off the dirt
From playing in the rain,
Watching as it goes
Gurgling down the drain.

Little boy, little boy,
Where are you?
Getting all ready
To go to the zoo.

Little girl, little girl,
Where are you?
Putting on a shirt
That’s purple and blue.

Mother, mother,
Where are you?
Giving to the dog
A bone he can chew.

Father, father,
Where are you?
Sitting in a chair
And tying a shoe.

Little boy, little girl,
Where are you?
Together with the family,
Having fun too!
